Description

Research focus: quantum materials, optics, excitonics & photonics

I lead the Excitonic Quantum Materials group at the Technical University of Munich, where we explore the interactions of excitons, magnons, and photons in strongly correlated materials. My research focuses on hybrid quantum systems, particularly exciton-polaritons in magnetic 2D materials, aiming to uncover novel quantum phases and light-matter coupling mechanisms. We develop cutting-edge spectroscopic techniques and nanophotonic devices to control quasiparticles at ultrafast timescales and nanoscale dimensions. Our work has implications for quantum optics, optoelectronics, and photon-based quantum information processing, with a strong emphasis on bridging fundamental physics with real-world applications.
